the birding event of the year for Colorado birders!
Each year attendees experience a different part of Colorado and see new birds and habitats with field trips led by local experts.
- See new birds on daily field trips
- Learn about new research on Colorado birds in the scientific session
- Attend social events and meet local ornithologists and birders
- Celebrate another year of birding, education, and research on Colorado's birds with an evening banquet that includes a special guest speaker

This is a great opportunity to meet new friends, renew old friendships, and learn about birds in an informal atmosphere.
